ABOUT ME

I'm Anthony, 32 this year, from Singapore, which is at the Equator in case you've never heard of us. It's always 30+ degrees centigrade, and this compels me to fling myself to the Arctic every winter. Finland was wonderful, though I did not manage to catch the Aurora as often as I hoped to(I stayed a month). I'm not a clubber or a party-goer, but I love to chill with a beer peppered with some light conversation. I play classical piano, read 19th century literature(favourites include Villette, and Mill on the Floss), and have been a gym bunny for the past 8 months running. A weird mix there I know, but I tend to dabble in everything. :)

The practicalities: I'm a high school teacher specializing in english literature and general music. I'm agnostic, and I'm pretty much a meat eater. I do not expect my hosts to cook for me or provide food for me at all, as I can afford to eat out. What I just need is a roof over my head, a nice bed, and good company.

PHILOSOPHY

Never be too quick to judge, if at all. You never know what hell others have gone through, to be what they are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Tricky Lady revealed herself in the sky to me in Finland last winter, for a whole hour.

Driving across barrier-less mountain roads in Westfjords of Iceland, and panicking at every moment how I might plunge off the cliff and die. And then seeing the lovely Icelandic puffins after said dangerous driving.
